    18The Birth of Jesus Christ Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened this way. While his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.

    19Because Joseph, her husband to be, was a righteous man, and because he did not want to disgrace her, he intended to divorce her privately.

    20When he had contemplated this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,“Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

    21She will give birth to a son and you will name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

    22This all happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled:

    26Birth Announcement of Jesus the Messiah In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,

    27to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, a descendant of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary.

    28The angel came to her and said,“Greetings, favored one, the Lord is with you!”

    29But she was greatly troubled by his words and began to wonder about the meaning of this greeting.

    30So the angel said to her,“Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God!

    31Listen: You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.

    32He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.

    33He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will never end.”

    34Mary said to the angel,“How will this be, since I have not been intimate with a man?”

    35The angel replied,“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called the Son of God.

    36“And look, your relative Elizabeth has also become pregnant with a son in her old age– although she was called barren, she is now in her sixth month!

    37For nothing will be impossible with God.”

    38So Mary said,“Yes, I am a servant of the Lord; let this happen to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
